Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Deep Brain Stimulation

Parkinson's disease patients who would otherwise be undergoing subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) will have dual hemispheric stimulation of the STN and globus pallidus interna (GPi).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Deep brain stimulation

Intervention Type DEVICE

Study will be utilizing multiple brain electrodes simultaneously. The study will require at least two electrodes to be placed in one cerebral hemisphere (one for motor improvement and one for potential cognitive implications).
